BLACKSBURG — A shooting in a downtown nightspot just before midnight Friday left one person dead and four injured as police continued to search a closed-off, multiple block section near the Virginia Tech campus hours later.

A Blacksburg police statement issued at 2 a.m. gave few details of the gun violence at Melody Hookah Lounge, located at 109 North Main St., but said "multiple individuals were transported from the scene to local hospitals."

A 5:30 a.m. update later said five people were injured in the shooting, four were transported to local hospitals and one died. No identities have been released.

A statement issued by Virginia Tech President Tim Sands said one of the injured people is a Virginia Tech student.
